The year is 2734 and despite the amazing technological and medical advances the world has experienced, a violent plague erupted across the world 15 years previously. Within weeks, the entire global population was decimated, except for in one place: Ireland. Due to the incredibly strong genetics of the Irish, they were immune to the effects of the plague and are now secluded on their small island where for reasons unexplainable the plague cannot reach.

They have lived in peace for 15 years since the plague first hit, but now there is trouble brewing. Top scientists have discovered the key to why the Irish are immune, but at a cost: They also discovered that the gene responsible for their immunity is weakening as time goes by.

A cure for this weakening has been discovered, but must be grown in the living blood of a select few who have the purest of the Irish blood flowing in their veins. These select few are known as the Protectors. Now the scientists want to keep the secret for themselves, allowing all others to perish over time and leaving them with the entire island of Ireland for themselves. The Protectors don't believe this to be a wise course of action and have gone into hiding to escape the control of the Scientists until the cure has reached maturity in their veins. They have started a revolution amongst the Irish, but if the Scientists find them first all hope will be lost for the remaining Irish citizens.

Pick your side, fight for the Scientists or the Protectors in a battle waged across the island of Ireland.
